off n or two items will not suffice.
A complete lowering of the whole
scale is what is required. TO effect
this, demands an amount OF moral
courage which every person does not
possess. 1t i: not pleasant to, confess
to ones circle that more plainness in
all the details of living is absolutely
necessary-that the dress must be
cheaper, the equipage less stylish, the
hospitality less liberal. But to all
such small economies, our people must
stoop if they would hope to relieve
themselves from the thraldom of debt.
Most of the fortunes that were, once
enjoyed in this section, were built up
by living within very narrow incomes.
Fifty years ago wages were smaller
than now, and the purchasing powers
we're no greater. Money advances, if
made at all, were made at rearful rates
of interest. But despite these adverse
circumstances, many young men laid
the foundation of what, before they
we're old, we're splendid estates. So
we contend they may now, if they will
only be industrious and saving

near this city, have recently developed
immense beds Of Bessemer iron ores
near Kings Mountain station, on the
Atlanta and Charlotte railroad. The
ore contain from 46 to IS per cent me-
talic iron, and are exceedingly low in
phosphorus, sulphur and other impuri-
ties. The various veins show from 8
to IA in thickness, at intervals on their
property, for a distance of about four
miles reached the city yes
terday of a fire on the plantation of
Mr.. E. W. Lyles, in which two negro
children lost their lives. The fire &C.
cured in the cabin of a colored man
named Samuel Trotter, who, with his
wife, had gone out into the fields to
their daily work, leaving their two
children alone in the house. Shortly
after Sam and his wife had left, flames
were seen issuing from the cabin, and
all the neighborhood help was imme-
diately summoned, but the fire could
not be subdued. The Cabin was en-
tirely consumed, and in the ashes was
found the charred remains of the I'M
fortunate children. The eldest Of the
two was about 4 years of age. 1t is
thought that the catastrophe was the
result of the children playing with the
fire which had been left burning in the
fire place.-Mr. W. T. Baily, who
was tried at Statesville last week upon
the charge of forgery and found guilty
by the jury, was yesterday arraigned
before Judge Walter Clark to receive
his sentence. Judge Clark sentenced
him to a term of ten years in the pen
itentiary.-At the cotton compress
yesterday a bale of cotton was split
open by the laborers just before being
thrown into the jaws of the big steam
press, and a cannon ball and a bottle
of molasses dropped out. The articles
we're sent to Mr.. Calvert, who had
bought the bale, and are now stored
away in his cabinet of curiosities.

LIVING WITHIN ONES MEANS.

The oft-repeated injunction "to live
within your MEANS" presupposes that
you know what your means are. But
if you belong to n of my different
classes, you do not know this. The
income of the farmer, the merchant,
the mechanic, is not only an unknown,
but a very uncertain quantity. In
fact, very few vocations have an abso-
lutely sure a mount Of emolument at
tached to them. But while the precise
figures Of the income may not be
known, a pretty correct general esti.
mate may be made, and by this the ex-
penditure should be regulated. One
may know for instance that the pro-
fits of a one.horse farm will not be
more than a few hundreds, and that
thousands cannot be RELAXED in q sin
gle year from a few hundreds invested
in trade. Foolish extravigances con
sists in adopting a style ST living more
costly than this general estimate war
rants. Just now we may say that the
mistake is very common here in our
Southland. Our people find it difficult
to adjust their ideas to the very small
figures that present their incomes, and
find it altogether as difficult to forge
the luxuries and conveniences which
require larger means than they have.
As a result, the amount of their in
debtedness grows larger year by year.
This latter they appreciate well enough.
The trouble is that they either cannot
or will not perceive that the only way
out of the difficulty is in a less expen-
sive style of living. Simply cutting

1T PAYS TO THINK.

A striking instance of the extent to
which labor saving machinery is car
ried nowadays, says the Industrial Jour-
nal, is shown in the tin can industry.
Everybody knows that tin cans are
manufactured by machinery. One of
the machines used in the process sold
ers the longitudinal seams of the cans
at the rate of fifty a minute, the cans
rushing along in a continuous stream.
Now, of course, a drop or two of sol
der is left on the can. The drop on
the outside. can be easily cleaned away,
but it is not SO easy to secure the drop
left on the inside It wouldn't do, Of
course, to retard. the speed of the
work-better waste the drop, it is only
a tri1e, anyhow, and to ninety-men in
a one hundred it would not seem
worth az minutes attention. The
hundredth man worked for a firm
using one of these machines, and he
set about devising an ingenious ar
rangement for wiping the inside Of
the can, thereby saving that drop Of
solder and leaving none to come in
contact with the contents of the can.
He was encouraged by his employers
to patent his invention, did so, and
has already received several thousand
dollars in royalties for it's use. AS
the machine soldiers 10000 cans a
day, the solder saved by his invention
amounted to SIS a day. 1t pays to
think as you work.

Oh, happy band of %bluebirds,
Brave prophets of the spring,
Amid the tall and tufted cane,
How bligthsomely you sing
What message haunts your music
Mid Autumn's dusky reign?
You tell us Nature stores her seed
To give them back in seed
Your Threats are gleeful fountains
Through which a song tide flows;
Your voices greet me in the woods,
On every wind that blows?
I dream that Heaven invites you
To bid the Earth "good-by;"
For in your wings you seem to old
A portion of the sky!

oh, happy band of bluebirds.
You could not long remain
To fit across the fading fields
And glorify the grain.

They'd almost touch the Blue!

LAST NIGHTS TALK.

The hanging of the anarchists was last
evening the leading topic of discussion.
Many thought that the sentence of all
would be commrted and others thought
that had not one blew his head off it would
have been quick game of seven up today,
Early in the evening the report gained cir
culation that the Jail had been blown up
and many called at the telegraph Office to
gain information.
The decision of the governor became gen
orally known last evening not, however,
until bets had been made, one side think

were made on the hanging some thinking

f. u. MISNER'ARRESTED.

Yesterday E. NJ. Misner was taken upon
a civil order of arrest by Deputy Metcalf.
He is accused by W. r. Calcord with OBJ
tanning money through fraudulent repre-
sensations. He had given Mr.. Calcord a
check for S25 upon the Kingman National
bank and had him to endorse it to the Citi-
zens' bank and thus enable him to draw
the money from the bank. His bond was
fixed at So. and after several hours,
being unable to secure it, he was sent TO
the county jail.
Mr. Calcord appears to be not the only
person who has suffered from Misner' :
fraudulent transaction; for he is said to
have obtained through much the same
representations, $40 from Judge Wall and
50 from NJ. W. Levy.
Misner is a man not unfamiliar to many
of the earlier residents of this city. He
was admitted to the Sedgwick county bar
about six years ago; served a term or two
justice of the peace here; and also in a
somewhat similar capacity at his present
home in kingman county.

BEAE AGAIN.
St. Louis and Kansas City Dry Pressed Brick'
..Good-Bye,,-A Saving TO the City.

Mr.. r. II. Keller. of St Louis, who is in
terested in the manufacture Of the Eureka
dry pressed brick machine, and who spent
some weeks last summer in the city super
intending the putting in place of machinery
at Wichita Pressed and Ornamental Brick
company, left last evening for Kansas City
after stay Of three days in the city look
ing after business interests. He came here
to examine the work,being done here by the
machine, and to number of gentlemen
last evening at the Manhattan said that in
his many years of experience in brick max
ing he had never been more surprised than
when he went out to the plant Wednesday.
When he was giving the machine trial he
was led to believe that the clay would make
very good brick; so good at least that the
enterprise would be decidedly profitable
one. Leaving before the first Kiln was
burned, he had not seen a single brick from
the plant. On going 30 the plant he says
he found brick which in merit are equaled
by only one yard in St Louis.
Il never dreamed he said, that
would find such fine brick in Wichita.
| am going to take with me some of Nicll
ita's brick to Kansas City, and prove to
those fellows up there that they can't
make brick equal to Wichita. | was
amused today in looking over a Fort Scott
paper where it stated that Wichita ought
TO get Dflck IN JndJ Town LOf DulIQIlt5. aS
you could not make q good quality here.
Well, now let me tell you. | have been
through the Fort Scott yards and thorough
ly tested and examined their clay and they
can't make brick equal TO the average
Wichita brick and they have nothing 10
compare with the best Of " ichita brick.
No sir, even ST. Louis brick can not COM
pete with Wichita brick and by taking the
freight out, they have no advantage. And
do you know. and most assuredly your
contractors and builders know, every
thousand brick made in Wichita is a
SAVING TO THE BUILDERS
OF sl4 and a saving to the city Of $40. No
longer is there any reason for buying St
Louis brick for Wichita buildings"
The Wichita Pressed and Ornamental
Brick Co. have now in kilns burning over
10000 brick, and will soon put fire under
another kiln OF $4,000 They have orders
for several months ahead and have shipped
brick two hundred miles west.
The machine has capacity Of $1,000 per
day and if next years building in the
| spring threatens to be as extensive as dur
ing the last the company will probably put
in another machine. The great success OF
the enterprise, even greater then at first eX-
pected causes the members of the company
to rejoice and feel exceedingly glad.

DEFECTIVE FLUE.

Yesterday forenoon a fire was discovered
in the roof of a story and a half frame
structure standing at the southwest corner
of Emporia avenue and Second street. The
fire is supposed to have been started
through defective fue in the kitchen.
The alarm was given, and promptly an
swered by the department. The fire was
on the roof and the work of extinguishing
it was not easy At last, when the flames
were put out, the house was thoroughly
soaked with water, and the furniture and
other contents which had not been early
removed were so damaged by the water as
to be almost worthless.
The house was the one formerly occupied
by Mr.. \. w. Buting, but at the time of
the fire was the dwelling place of Mr.. VIII.
liam Palmer. of the Union meat market.
1t was not, however, owned by him but by
a nonresident His loss is about 800,
partly covered by insurance. The loss to
the owner of the house is about as much;
